# <menclose>

The MathML `<menclose>` element renders its content inside an enclosing notation specified by the `notation` attribute.

## Attributes

class, id, style
Provided for use with stylesheets.
`displaystyle`
A Boolean value specifying whether more vertical space is used for displayed equations or, if set to `false`, a more compact layout is used to display formulas. The main effect is that larger versions of operators are displayed, when `displaystyle` is set to `true`. See also `movablelimits` on `<mo>`.
href
Used to set a hyperlink to a specified URI.
mathbackground
The background color. You can use `#rgb`, `#rrggbb` and HTML color names.
mathcolor
The text color. You can use `#rgb`, `#rrggbb` and HTML color names.
notation
A list of notations, separated by white space, to apply to the child elements. The symbols are each drawn as if the others are not present, and therefore may overlap. Possible values are:
Value Sample Rendering Rendering in
Description
`longdiv` (default) $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ long division symbol
`actuarial` $\overline{{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}\hspace{.2em}|}$ actuarial symbol
`radical` $\sqrt{{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ square root symbol. Deprecated. Use `<msqrt>` instead.
`box` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ box
`roundedbox` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ rounded box
`circle` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ circle
`left` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ line to the left of the contents
`right` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ line to the right of the contents
`top` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ line above of the contents
`bottom` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ line below of the contents
`updiagonalstrike` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ strikeout line through contents from lower left to upper right
`downdiagonalstrike` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ strikeout line through contents from upper left to lower right
`verticalstrike` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ vertical strikeout line through contents
`horizontalstrike` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ horizontal strikeout line through contents
`madruwb` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ Arabic factorial symbol
`updiagonalarrow` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ diagonal arrow
`phasorangle` $\overline{){a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}$ phasor angle
